I know a lot of us are floating on cloud nine since Barack Obama has become President of the United States. BUT ****. Why are some Black folks ready to give up Black History Month and Affirmative Action because ONE BLACK MAN GOT A JOB THAT'S STRESSIN' HIM THE HELL OUT? A job he'll only have for 4 years...8 years at the most. After he's out of office, then what?

Black people, we really need to think beyond jobs, beyond joining "exclusive" clubs where only Whites could go a few years back, and beyond hanging out with White people, listening to their music, and eating their non-seasoned, dry *** chicken. Come on. Is kumbayain' with white folks that **** important? Is it so important that you're willing to give up that which our Ancestors DIED for? ****! How desperate are some of us? Hell, what's it worth to us to have ONE Black man in the White House for 4 to 8 years? Why stop at Affirmative Action and Black History Month? Why don't we just go back to SLAVERY?!

Yea, it does seem that many blacks now think they can sit back, loosen up the belt buckle, and relax...LOL!

Can't ever let your guard down with any enemy....I may participate in some music, social events, and hell....I may even add some Lawry's to that bland, dry chicken....but best believe....I keeps a third eye in the back of my head..so I don't get struck.

BUT WHY DO BLACK FOLKS ALWAYS FEEL LIKE YOU OWE THEM SOMETHING JUST BECAUSE YOU BLACK TOO?? I WORK WITH THE PUBLIC, AND THAT GETS ON MY NERVE WHEN ANOTHER BLACK PERSON SAY "HEY SIS, DO YOU MIND IF I GET A FREE..... RIDE?" WTF? GET THE H*** OUTTA HERE!! NO MATTER THE LEVEL FIELD WE ARE ON. THEY WANT THE HOOK UP.. THERE MAY BE OCCASIONS WHERE YOU MAY HOOK THEM UP WITHOUT EVEN ASKING, BUT WHY DO THEY EXPECT IT, LIKE IT'S A GIVEN??

The same question could be asked about:
Labor day
Veterans Day
Mothers Day
Fathers Day
Thanksgiving
etc.

Having a day or a week or a month is to give us focus because in our busy everyday schedule and routine we tend to forget and need a reminder. To ask such a question is to ask why we are human.

There's really nothing new about Obama's presidency. Sure he is the first African-American president in 200 years but there's nothing new about whites running to the "magic negro" in times of trouble. If they play the game as they have historically done then as soon as they are out of the woods they will beat us back into the hole Obama dug them out of.

But we have to take advantage of these few years of breathing room and move forward so they cannot beat us back to where we were when the game started. Or we can be dummies and think the fight is over now.

Obama has said it in his own way but it needs to be said more forcefully. He needs to get on national television and run an ad campaign with him holding up the Constitution saying "Look, it says here 'we the people' not 'I the president.'"
